This may be a little "off topic" but its still similar. What about the game industry? They have tons of games that are from the WWII era? And many other games also depict some kind of major conflict but yet no one cares. *end rant*
But back on topic. I'll probably watch it to see what they do with it. I'm well over the tragedy and this will be something good to see. If its good enough, and if they release it on DVD, I might get it.

I'll definitely watch it. I can barely remember the attacks.. It was so long ago. And what about all the "I love New York" and the American flags being sold after the attacks? Were they using American tragedies to make money?

I see this film as nothing but educational, unless they go crazy and make stuff up. But it is a docudrama.. I never heard that word before, but it should be true to the facts.

And Jonbo, good point about the wars... But I think that the only reasons they are acceptable is that:
  • They are made to be ultra realistic
  • The wars should be remembered, and in these years, videogames and movies are the best way to get teens to get involved with the past
  • and the wars were something that America and Canada chose to be apart of (well, Canada didn't chose to be in WWI, but w/e), so it is acceptable.. 9/11 wasn't voluntary


Yep yep..
